Transmission/Oil Pan Drain Plug Wrench

[courtenay]

Anybody know what size hex wrench is needed for the transmission and oil pan drain plugs?

Mine's 12mm.

Any tricks for un-sticking a stuck transmission FILL plug? I can't get mine off for the life of me. The plug is in a rather awkard position when the car is not way up on a lift.

Mine was pretty tight as was my oil pan plug... I sprayed on some liquid wrench and in 15 minutes used a 1/2 Hex and a 30" Braker bar. Both came right out. Also be sure to clean out the plug real good so the Hex fits in tight -Carb cleaner works good but be careful it does not drip in your eyes. On other bolts I've used a little heat too but that would be extreme.

I think it is a steel plug threaded into an aluminum case so it should let go.

The torch is a friend. Just be careful.
